Ah crap :-/. The following patch should fix it. BTW, if you remove the
--scm-only option and use the LOCALVERSION mechanism, then the resulting
kernel release string will have the localversion twice.

Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: Fix make rpm

make rpm was broken by commit 0915512:
make clean
set -e; cd ..; ln -sf /usr/src/iwlwifi-2.6 kernel-2.6.35rc4wl
/bin/sh /usr/src/iwlwifi-2.6/scripts/setlocalversion --scm-only >
/usr/src/iwlwifi-2.6/.scmversion
cat: .scmversion: input file is output file
make[1]: *** [rpm] Error 1
